very nice find Jellby. I was wondering earlier if the shape of the particles which are depicted as spherical in illustrations would create a gap as round does not allow for a compact fit. So maybe the answer will ultimately be a change in geometry of the particles used. Though those look to be hexagonal which should be able to compact fairly close. But there are certainly black gaps. Maybe this combined with the actual opacity of the particles is the key.

I wonder how many layers thick the particles are arranged. No matter I think your photo of the display really does show the root cause. That should be fixable in not too long a period. Heck I wonder how many shapes the engineers when through before settling on the quasi-spherical particles?
